A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEPlot the periods when care demands overlap: school collection and a meeting, one child's bedtime and another's homework, or an early departure after a broken night. The overlap matters more than how many tasks appear on the list.
Identify which activity needs an adult physically present and which can move. Preparing paperwork earlier may help; delaying necessary supervision cannot. Keep the map simple enough to read quickly. A partner who is absent during bedtime may still own shopping, school administration or preparation at another time. Responsibility can be shared across a week even when presence cannot be shared evenly each evening.
